    Posted by Rich Griff on 25/01/2021 15:03:13: Hi levent, how did your bespoke fuel tank perform, any leaks ? Iwhat was its final weight, and was it lighter than a tin tank ? No leaks any in raw fuel. I didn't test it with a running engine yet. Total weight is .547 ounces. It is a little lower than a tin plate fuel tank. Final metal epoxy add much weight. I think that two clear coats on inside and outside are enough. I also want to try an epoxy model paint coat after applying a coat of epoxy glue to save weight, however I could't find epoxy paint in my country.

    Posted by Geoff S on 03/01/2021 14:12:24: Tin plate is fairly easy to work with, I think. It's thin enough to cut with scissors. It solders easily and, at this small size, wouldn't even need a big soldering iron. However, it's worth a try and I'll be interested to see if proves to be fuel leak proof. I wonder if it will survive a heavy landing? Geoff Hi Geoff, it seems that there is no leak any. I will send a message after testing it with raw fuel and also with a running engine. I think that it can survive a heavy landing, and even a crash if it is small model that uses 1/2A engines or similar size. It look like a fibreglass tank and light.

    Posted by Rich too on 03/01/2021 13:46:35: Mmm, no experience, but balsa would be my last choice. Have you consider a bag? **LINK** Hi, I have balloon fuel tanks and they work, however I wanted to try a novelty idea.

    Hi, I wanted to make a special shaped tank to fit inside of a profile fuselage. It can be made with tin plate, however balsa is easier to work than tin plate. I am going to use it with glow fuel 15% nitro.

    Posted by Martin Harris - Moderator on 01/01/2021 16:36:09: My main motivation is avoiding the self discharge liability of my glow sticks. Martin, you are right about this self discharge, a negative side of NiMh batteries.
  21. Levent Suberk
    The power output of LiPo battery is steady throughout the discharge, but the power output of NiMH batteries starts to decrease after charging. Also amperage of NiMh battery instantly drops while using. So a LiPo battery has longer drive time and better performance for a good hot glow for glow plugs. Also LiPo batteries have an instant high current output. Edited By Levent Suberk on 01/01/2021 16:39:53

    Posted by Phil McCavity on 01/01/2021 16:29:10: Would a genuine Panasonic 18650 be a better and cheaper power source for this? Edited By Phil McCavity on 01/01/2021 16:32:19 Phil, of course any battery can be used, if battery voltage is in input range of circuit.
